We know planning a field trip takes time and effort. To make the process as easy as possible we are using a new MS Bookings platform to help streamline the reservation process.

We are opening registration for school year 25/26 programs on Tuesday, 9/2 at 7:00 a.m. We will not consider requests that arrive before 7:00 a.m.

To reserve a field trip, please review our program options: Biscayne Explorer fieldtrips, Ranger In Your Classroom, and virtual Biscayne Discovery programs. We plan to offer our High School 3-day Biscayne Expedition camp program January-March 2026. These camps are only available to teachers who have attended our overnight camp workshop (Dec. 6-7 2025).
We will offer Biscayne Explorer, virtual Biscayne Discovery, and Ranger In Your Classroom again March-May 2026.

Once you select a program, please fill out our Booking Form. For questions about our education programs, call [phone] or send an e-mail. Programs may be adjusted to fit your needs and time restraints.

Most day programs take place on the Dante Fascell Visitor Center grounds at Convoy Point (9700 SW 328th St, Homestead, 33033). The facility includes a 1/2 mile boardwalk for wildlife viewing, bathrooms, picnic tables, visitor center, classroom, auditorium, museum, touch tables, and rotating art exhibits.

When planning field trips please remember to check the weather and prepare students appropriately. Snacks and drinks are available at the park gift shop, but are very limited. It is recommended that school groups bring their own lunch and refillable water bottles.
